In issue 215 of Total Film magazine , Hollywood funny girl Emma Stone reveals that her Gwen Stacy is no damsel in distress in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 .

Inside the issue - which is available for just £1.99 on your iPad - Stone tells us that, unlike Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane in Sam Raimi's Spidey flicks, Gwen knows how to look after herself.

When we asked her how many times Spider-Man saves her in the upcoming sequel, Stone replied: "Not many. I can think of one important instance.

"She saves him more than he saves her. She's incredibly helpful to Spider-Man... He's the muscle, she's the brains."

Stone adds: "I don't get to do too many crazy stunts. She gets herself in the middle of stuff, that's for sure! I do get webbed to a car. There's shit like that."

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in the UK on 18 April 2014.
